I first met this mom and her two kiddies over coffee in downtown Kamloops, at a little spot called Frankly Coffee that I love hanging out in. These little people are SO cute, and so full of life, I knew we were going to have a blast. I went downtown to have another look at a graffiti wall that I knew was down there when I was sidetracked by an alley that just had SO MUCH visual appeal that I sent some photos with a “well? what do you think?”, to which I received a “Yes! That looks like fun!” reply. YAY! I new place to play… and a shiny orange wall??? What’s not to love?? Then we drove up Rose Hill to catch the fading daylight, which happened to set in a blaze of orange-red. It was fantastic! Here are just a few from our session…
Now that you have officially met Bhavan and Jessy (they are such a stunning couple), I’ll start from the beginning of the day…
When the Bhavan’s family arrived, they were greeted and welcomed officially by Jessy’s family in a ceremony that includes opening the front door of their home to the bride’s family, spilling oil (I think) on the doorpost, and warm greetings…
…followed by a welcome meal. As an aside, there was a general dinner later on, and I have to say, the food was sssoooooooooooo good! Authentic, savory, spicy, aromatic, succulent Indian food… yummy!
After the dinner, the formal Engagement ceremony started. Below are a few of the moments, including introducing the Bride-to-Be, prayer, giving of gifts, and presentation of the ring.
